Its probably an adaptation evolved by plants after the divergence of primitive plants from an ancestor. They probably have other maybe less affective ways of working around its lack of vascular tissue.
Nonvascular plants and seedless vascular plants are both land plants that evolved from green algae. Both types also rely on water to be able to reproduce.
The first seedless vascular plants evolved over 439 million years ago during the Silurian period. These early vascular plants developed the ability to synthesize lignin which gave them support.
Land plants can be broadly classed as "vascular" or "non-vascular". Vascular means having dedicated cells to transport water (xylem cells) and food (phloem cells) through the plant structure. Vascular plants (tracheophytes) : vegetables, trees Non-Vascular plants (bryophytes) : mosses and worts
vascular
There are both Vascular and Non-Vascular plants.
Vascular plants most likely evolved around 400-450 million years ago during the Ordovician period. Fossil evidence, including early vascular plant fossils such as Cooksonia, suggests that these plants emerged during this period. Additionally, molecular clock studies also support this time frame for the evolution of vascular plants.
Vascular plants have vascular tissue while non-vascular plants don´t
Vascular plants have vascular tissue .
Vascular plants have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) for transporting water and nutrients, while nonvascular plants lack these tissues and rely on diffusion for nutrient transport. Vascular plants are able to grow taller and have more complex structures compared to nonvascular plants, which are typically smaller and simpler in form.
vascular plants
There are too many vascular plants to count, but vascular plants are generally taller than non-vascular plants. Most plants are vascular.
